But there are some features that should meet before you decide to buy. According to the materials from which shower curtains are manufactured, shower curtains are divided into two groups – made of fabric (cotton, polyester) and made from PVC. The former are more stylish, thick, heavy and expensive, suitable for long-term use. Curtains, whose composition is of PVC are cheaper and lighter, but with a shorter life.
